Bum Wealthy are a group of seven guys interested in living life to the fullest with what they’ve got and spreading good times and great tunes along the way! From rogue guitar riff heavies and articulate mandolin sprinkles written by Steven Roumeliote through the organ screamers penned by Seth Lockard, Bum Wealthy’s first album, Bumpercrop offers solid party music incorporating elements from blues, funk, jazz, reggae and rock genres.
“Bum Wealthy succeeds where many similar acts fail: They build on the foundation of solid songwriting, and they show some restraint. These guys have skills, but they understand being a great band means more than just mastering your instrument, or even getting on the same wavelength as the other players. They prize their ability to craft airtight arrangements, memorable melodies and thoughtful lyrics.”
— Chris Deville, Columbus Alive!
The band has been stewing in their own juices for some time now. Band members Steven Roumeliote - vocals/guitar/mandolin/trumpet, Seth Lockard - vocals/keys/banjo, Nathan Emond - guitars/vocals, Gregg Cook - sax/vocals, and Nicholas McCormish - bass/vocals are roughly six years into playing together at least twice a week. Newer editions Justin Campbell - drums, and Matthew Latham - trombone/vocals bring fresh perspective as accomplished musicians in their own pursuits.
“We had enough material to release an album after the first year … We wanted to wait until the timing was right and the chemistry was perfect. I liken it to a Crock Pot as opposed to microwaving your food.”
